My son spent years under this program and has blossomed into a stellar drummer. Lance and Robin gave him an opportunity he would never have found. He's now in a very successful metal trio! Highly recommend!!!
I had stumbled upon Making Music Matter for Kids when looking for a non-profit in the area to help out. After my first interaction with Lance and Robin, I was blown away by all the hard work and dedication they put into giving these kids the opportunity to let their creativity shine and give them the space to do so. They truly love helping their community and the kids that come in. Anyone looking for music lessons for their children should absolutely stop by and check them out because they do amazing work.
I've seen children give great performances and that's all thanks to the muscial teachings of Lance Miley. He gives his students opportunities to rock out and have fun doing it.

My daughter started with Lance at MMMFK nearly 2 years ago and I am amazed at how she has grown and matured as a musician. But more than that are the friends she has made, the other musicians she is in contact with, the self assurance she has gained, the improvement in her grades, and the understanding of the dedication it takes to really improve your skills in anything. Lance is a wonderful teacher and all around good person! We were lucky to find him and love being part of MMMFK!
